an excerpt from the lost week on the fast lane to the finals and nagging projects and i wonder how i’m going to end up after all’s been said and done.

03.20.07
Loitering in Ate Malou’s photocopy sanctuary makes me think how many forests our readings are eating up.

i’m sharing a bamboo sofa with two classmates and a sleeping cat. i’m grieving for the cat in advance because there’s been a shortage of food supplies inside this reproduction haven these past few days. it wouldn’t be long before people crave for siopao once more. how many buns would nine lives make? i don’t know. whats the name of the cute sleeping cat? i don’t know too but i made one up for the sake of attempted immortalization–i christen thee, bola-bola.

if all the siopaos we ate were really made of cat meat, then wed all be eating pussy.

80% of all cat meows are expressions of endearment, something like “feed me. pay attention to me. cuddle me. how about me messing with your hair instead of you stroking my fur. i’m just joking. I LOVE YOU!”

back to the future. i just came back from a two day vacation in Samal where almost everything is clean and green. no wonder Samal is so relaxing. everywhere you look, theres a healthy touch of green. and Green being the color of life and everything fresh and everything natural is the most relaxing color to the eyes. the mega-structures of life are all green. even a part of the sea cant help but be green too.

our brain itself is a mega-structure of liveliness so the next time somebody tells you that you have a green mind, smile and be happy. more life springs forth from ones who have green minds.

i’ve discovered something really good when traveling on water. if you greet the sea with a cheerful heart, it always waves back at you.

some hours away from Davao, i was splashing around like a crazy frog only to find out that the sea is unusually salty these days. could the saltiness come from Monosodium glutamate and other food additives found in bits of junk food left in noisy plastic wrappers floating around like helpless jellyfishes? i think everybody needs to learn proper waste management.

the next time you’re loitering the confines outside world, always think life. its helps to be green-minded all the time.

it took me a while to realize that i’m finally a free man. its summer and the traces of insomnia in my system are gone. but i still got the blood to blog a lot. i love talking to myself and to the so lovely you somewhere out there.

when you’re reading my stuff be sure to let go of all iniquity in you and greet the words with a jolly heart. i may not be the sea to be able to always wave back at you but you should know that i’m always thinking of you with a fat heart and a very green mind.

oh, and before i forget, theres just too much gratitude i want to express and to every single one of you and i’m afraid that a simple thank you wouldn’t really do. i wish you can see me now executing some gestures from the love dictionary of sign language while i’m slowly mouthing words in don romantico fashion. read my lips,

meow.

mwah.
